ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for performing a comparative search. In one example, the comparative search is performed over a network, such as the web, or a database. In one exemplary implementation, a user transmits a plurality of queries which represent the topics that a user wants to compare, and a computing system can automatically retrieve and rank web pages or documents based on both their relevance to queries and the comparative contents they contain. In one such example, the comparative pages are displayed in a pair or other form of a grouping. In another example, comparative results having similar contents may be clustered into meaningful themes.
